The problem may be with your installation. Make sure that the lines are installed correctly
and that line 1 is common on all system telephones.
The cause of this problem may be from outside interference. Disconnect line one at the
cable terminal. If this solves the problem, then the interference is coming from the
telephone company.
This problem may also be caused by DSL Microfilters. Never connect a line that has a
DSL Circuit on Line 1.
The problem may be caused by one defective telephone. Disconnect one instrument at a
time to determine if a particular telephone is causing the problem.
Crosstalk or other
interference
The most common cause of crosstalk is the use of flat cable. Be sure to use supplied line
cords. You must use twisted-pair line cords.
